Why is the vegetative metaphor in a vegetative state today?When does the arithmetic metaphor become a good metaphor arithmetic? Is botany a metaphor for all hand-me-down knowledge? Can negative words become resonant? Why is Eureka moment fast turning into a weasel metaphor?Yeast and dough – which is the spreading metaphor and which is the accommodating metaphor? Why shouldn’t veneer be used as a respectable metaphor? Is wilderness a metaphor for the down and out? Are all harsh and severe laws draconian?Many more metaphor questions………….Many more answers…………..And many more metaphor stories. Much More Metaphoric Madness is all about metaphor sanity.
